UMMEED was formed in 2004 to fill vacuum in the area of Homeless and Migrants in the state of Uttar Pradesh. It is the fruitful outcome of an endeavor of a few social activists, professionals and other like-minded citizens. What started off as a small organization for Homeless and Migrants to provide them shelter in the City of Nawabs, Lucknow, has today blossomed into a full-fledged institution providing shelter, bringing into its realm a wide range of services that cater to a population beyond the borders of Uttar Pradesh. The growth of UMMEED has been spurred by the realization of the needs of the Homeless which includes Migrants, Destitute, Persons with mental disorders and Persons involved in Beggary. Various projects have been initiated to address their needs. UMMEED is a registered organization under Society Registration Act 1860 dated 24/03/2004 with the registration number 2306.

UMMEED’s Objective is to bring all the services of the society into one stand and create a platform to provide better health and education facilities to the deprived citizens with the participation and support of society and also make the environment clean and secure for all.

UMMEED’s Mission “is to bring the services of government, Institutions as well as individuals into a platform and build an atmosphere, where every marginalized, vulnerable and needy can enjoy the services of them”.

UMMEED’s Vision is “Every citizen should work for each other.”
